Police said a mom, stepdad and 9-year-old girl were injured in the drive-by shooting on Washington Avenue just after 10 p.m.

An 8-year-old was always walking with the family, they said, but was not injured.

A car drove by and someone inside the car opened fire on the family, according to police.

Police said a bullet grazed the child across the chest.

A neighbor spoke to WYFF News 4's Mandy Gaither.

"The kids was just saying 'somebody shot my mother, somebody shot my mother' that's what they kept saying over and over again," Jerry Norris said.

All three victims were taken to AnMed Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

A family member told WYFF News 4 that the child has been released from the hospital but the mother and stepdad are still there. Police said at least a dozen bullets were fired into the family's home three weeks ago.

They said someone then broke into the family's home while the family was at the hospital Friday morning.
